There are several avenues for students to pursue academic experiences abroad and GPO helps find the program that best fits their goals. Students may study abroad during spring break, January intersession, summer, or for a semester. GPO also provides services and support to international students, regardless of status, at Daemen. Undergraduate/Graduate study abroad policies Students who intend to study, volunteer, or conduct research abroad must have their proposed coursework approved by their department and the GPO before departure. Most programs require a 2.5 GPA (平均学分绩点) to participate (at least a 3.0 GPA for graduate students). To be approved to study abroad, all students must submit requirements before departure and start of the study abroad program. If the student fails to obey, the student will not be approved to study abroad as a Daemen student. Grades earned as part of a study abroad program are factored into each student’s GPA. International Student Services GPO is responsible for helping international students obtain the immigration (移民) benefits to which they are entitled. It also assists in obtaining social security cards and driver’s licenses.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了全球项目办公室（GPO）所提供的一些留学服务的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There are several avenues for students to pursue academic experiences abroad and GPO helps find the program that best fits their goals. Students may study abroad during spring break, January intersession, summer, or for a semester.(学生有多种途径在国外追求学术经历，GPO帮助他们找到最适合他们目标的项目。学生可在春假、一月休学、暑假或一学期期间出国留学)”可知，GPO帮助学生获得出国留学的机会。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Undergraduate Graduate study abroad policies部分中“Grades earned as part of a study abroad program are factored into each student’s GPA.(作为留学项目的一部分，获得的成绩会计入每个学生的GPA)”可知，在海外学习项目中获得的成绩会被计入学生的平均学分绩点。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据International Student Services部分中“GPO is responsible for helping international students obtain the immigration (移民) benefits to which they are entitled. It also assists in obtaining social security cards and driver’s licenses.(GPO负责帮助国际学生获得他们有权获得的移民福利。它还协助获得社会保障卡和驾驶执照)”可知，GPO负责帮助国际留学生获得他们应有的移民福利，还协助他们获得社保卡和驾照。故选B。 B A few months ago, I logged into a Zoom talk to discover that every little box was labeled “Jane”. The organizer had accidentally sent out the host link, which somehow gave us all the same name. Most attendees found this amusing. But it really isn’t cool for me. I have congenital prosopagnosia — face blindness. I can see faces, but the individual details, such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the nose, are unclear. As a result, recognizing faces — something so instant and unconscious for most — is a major challenge. Over the years I developed coping mechanisms, such as offering equal-opportunity smiles to all. To distinguish people, I relied on extrafacial cues — the brightly coloured heels one person wears, the way another’s head moves when they walk, the scent of cigarettes, a habitual lunch spot on a bench. There were many embarrassing occasions as I pursued my neuroscience career, like when I asked the wrong professor how her sick husband was doing. But overall, I was managing. But in some cases, there’s little I can do. At a recent small conference, a faculty member I know found me to say hello, and I wanted to make sure I responded accordingly when I saw her next. I thought I could recognize her by her hairstyle, but I ended up saying hello to four different women — none of whom was her. Sometimes I feel like something out of a science-fiction plot. A recent Zoom presentation really hammered this home. Titled “You Don’t Belong Here”, it was intended to show how some environments can be exclusionary (排外的) and what can be done to address that. But as the members alternated between acting out scenes and commenting on them, referring to their alter egos (第二自我) in the third person, I was confused. I left feeling exactly as the title said: “You don’t belong here.” Academics with disabilities exist, and we need our colleagues to think broadly and creatively about accessibility and inclusion. Let’s create an environment where we all feel like we belong. 4. Why does the author hold negative attitude toward the Zoom Talk accident? A. He is unfamiliar with the environment. B. He feels disrespect from the organizer. C. He has difficulty keeping one’s name in mind. D. It’s hard for him to recognize the real identity. 5. How does the author usually deal with his problem? A. By remembering the person’s typical characteristics. B. By communicating with the person often. C. By repeating the person’s name again and again. D. By labeling the person with his imagination. 6. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 3? A. To criticize his carelessness. B. To show his powerlessness. C. To describe his kindness. D. To complain about meetings. 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. The author always likes reading science fiction. B. The conference aimed to protect the environment. C. The author was confused about the title of the presentation. D. An inclusive environment should be set up for individuals. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者数月前登录Zoom 会议，因组织者误发主机链接致所有人名字显示为“Jane”，这对患有先天性脸盲症的作者而言是极大困扰。在一次Zoom展示中，作者因会议复杂形式而困惑，离场时深感自己格格不入。作者借此呼吁同事们从更广泛、创新角度思考无障碍与包容性，营造让所有人都有归属感的环境。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Most attendees found this amusing. But it really isn’t cool for me. I have congenital prosopagnosia — face blindness. I can see faces, but the individual details, such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the nose, are unclear. As a result, recognizing faces—something so instant and unconscious for most — is a major challenge.( 大多数与会者都觉得这很有趣。但这对我来说一点都不酷。我有先天性面孔失认症——脸盲。我能看到脸，但个人细节，如眼睛之间的距离或鼻子的形状，是不清楚的。因此，识别面孔——对大多数人来说是即时和无意识的——是一项重大挑战)”可推知，第一段提到作者有脸盲症，而在Zoom会议中所有人名字都变成“Jane”，这使得本就难以识别面孔的作者更难识别他人真实身份。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To distinguish people, I relied on extrafacial cues — the brightly coloured heels one person wears, the way another’s head moves when they walk, the scent of cigarettes, a habitual lunch spot on a bench.( 为了区分不同的人，我依靠表面上的线索——一个人穿的颜色鲜艳的高跟鞋，另一个人走路时头部移动的方式，香烟的气味，长凳上习惯性的午餐地点)”可知，作者通常通过记住人的典型特征（如穿着、走路姿势、气味、习惯地点等）来解决脸盲问题。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But in some cases, there’s little I can do. At a recent small conference, a faculty member I know found me to say hello, and I wanted to make sure I responded accordingly when I saw her next. I thought I could recognize her by her hairstyle, but I ended up saying hello to four different women — none of whom was her.( 但在某些情况下，我无能为力。在最近的一次小型会议上，我认识的一位教员找到我向她打招呼，我想确保下次见到她时我能做出相应的回应。我以为我可以通过她的发型认出她，但最后我和四个不同的女人打招呼——没有一个是她)”可推知，作者在第三段提到这个例子是为了表明自己面对脸盲问题时的无力感。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后两段内容，尤其是最后一段“Academics with disabilities exist, and we need our colleagues to think broadly and creatively about accessibility and inclusion. Let’s create an environment where we all feel like we belong.( 有残疾的学者是存在的，我们需要我们的同事对无障碍和包容性进行广泛和创造性的思考。让我们创造一个大家都有归属感的环境)”可知，从最后两段可以推断出作者建议应该为个人创造一个包容的环境。故选D项。 C Ants are known to undergo extreme measures to save their own. Past studies have shown the industrious insects carrying wounded partners back to the nest to heal and even exploding and sacrificing themselves to save their regions from predators (捕食者). Now a team of young researchers in Panama has an amazing discovery. The event began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2020.To pass time during that time, Alex Wcislo and his friends decided to shoot clay balls at trees. They targeted the flat, broad leaves of the slender Cecropia trees to make the task more challenging. Things were going well until one of the 9 mm clay balls accidentally hit one of the tree trunks, leaving a clean exit and entry wound. Concerned that he had caused permanent damage, Alex returned to examine the tree the following morning. He was accompanied by his father, William Wcislo, an entomologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). To their surprise, the hole had been completely repaired! Curious to find out what was going on, Alex and his friends joined the STRI’s volunteer program. After setting up the experiment parameters (实验参数) with William, the teens got to work. They drilled holes in the Cecropia trees in the neighbourhood and then carefully documented what followed. The young scientists found that in 14 of the 22 cases, a crowd of Azteca alfari ants instantly gathered in the damaged area. The hardworking insects instantly got to work and, using material from the stems, significantly reduced the size of the hole within two and a half hours. In most cases, the gap was completely sealed within 24 hours. Alex and his team, who published their findings in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research on December 30, 2021, still have one mystery to solve. They are not sure why the insects did not repair all the holes. Understanding this selective behavior is something they hope to explore in the future. 8. What is the author’s main purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To show the special skills ants possess. B. To prove how creative the young researchers are. C. To explain how hard life was during that time. D. To introduce the background of the new discovery. 9. What is the discovery about? A. The trouble the pandemic has caused. B. The way parents educate their children. C. The ability ants repair the damaged trees. D. The forms of entertainment in daily life. 10. How did the young scientists get their finding? A. By comparing different studies. B. By conducting an experiement. C. By consulting other scientists. D. By analyzing previous data. 11. What can we learn from Alex’s story? A. A good beginning is half done. B. Usually a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. C. Care and hard work bring luck. D. Curiosity can lead to an unexpected outcome. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了在 2020 年新冠疫情高峰期，Alex Wcislo 和朋友向天蚕树射泥球时，一球意外击中树干留下伤口。次日Alex和身为昆虫学家的父亲发现伤口竟完全修复。出于好奇，Alex等人加入史密森热带研究所（STRI）的志愿者项目，通过实验发现，在22个钻孔案例中有 14 个，阿兹特克蚂蚁会迅速聚集到受损区域，利用树干材料在两半小时内大幅缩小洞口，多数情况下24小时内完全封住洞口。该研究成果于2021年12月30 日发表，但蚂蚁为何未修复所有洞口仍是未解之谜，他们希望未来能探索其选择性行为的原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The event began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2020.To pass time during that time, Alex Wcislo and his friends decided to shoot clay balls at trees. They targeted the flat, broad leaves of the slender Cecropia trees to make the task more challenging. Things were going well until one of the 9 mm clay balls accidentally hit one of the tree trunks, leaving a clean exit and entry wound.( 该活动始于2020年年中COVID-19大流行最严重的时期。在那段时间里，为了打发时间，Alex Wcislo和他的朋友们决定向树发射粘土球。他们的目标是细长的天蚕树的平坦、宽阔的叶子，以使这项任务更具挑战性。一切都很顺利，直到一颗9毫米的泥弹意外击中了一棵树干，留下了一个干净的进出伤口。)”可推知，作者写第二段的主要目的是介绍新发现的背景。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The young scientists found that in 14 of the 22 cases, a crowd of Azteca alfari ants instantly gathered in the damaged area. The hardworking insects instantly got to work and, using material from the stems, significantly reduced the size of the hole within two and a half hours.( 年轻的科学家们发现，在22个案例中，有14个案例中，一群阿兹特克蚂蚁立即聚集在受损区域。勤劳的昆虫立即开始工作，利用茎上的材料，在两个半小时内显著缩小了洞的大小。)”可知，这个发现是关于蚂蚁修复受损树木的能力。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“After setting up the experiment parameters (实验参数) with William, the teens got to work. They drilled holes in the Cecropia trees in the neighbourhood and then carefully documented what followed.( 和William一起设置好实验参数后，孩子们开始工作了。他们在附近的天蚕树上钻了洞，然后仔细记录了随后发生的事情。)”可知，这些年轻的科学家通过设置实验参数，在附近的树上钻孔并记录后续情况，即通过做实验得出发现。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Alex and his team, who published their findings in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research on December 30, 2021, still have one mystery to solve. They are not sure why the insects did not repair all the holes. Understanding this selective behavior is something they hope to explore in the future.( Alex和他的团队于2021年12月30日在《膜翅目研究杂志》上发表了他们的研究结果，但仍有一个谜团有待解决。他们不确定为什么昆虫没有修复所有的洞。了解这种选择性行为是他们希望在未来探索的东西。)”可知，文章主要讲的是Alex因为好奇树干伤口为何被修复，进而参与研究并发现蚂蚁修复树木的能力，这体现了好奇心能带来意想不到的结果。故选D项。 D “The benefits of spacing and retrieval (检索) practice have been confirmed over and over in studies in labs, classrooms, workplaces, but the reason why we’re showcasing this research is that these two techniques haven’t fully caught on. If they were applied all the time, we’d see dramatic increases in learning,” said Iowa State University Psychology Professor Shana Carpenter. In the paper, Carpenter and her co-authors describe spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time. It’s the opposite of cramming the night before an exam. In one study, medical students who received repeated surgery training over three weeks performed better and faster on tests 2 weeks and 1 year later compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day. Carpenter says there isn’t a universal rule about how much time to schedule between practice sessions. But research shows returning to the material after forgetting some — but not all — of the content is effective. Retrieval practice is a strategy that involves recalling what was learned previously. It can take many forms, including flash cards, practice tests and open-ended writing prompts (提示), and helps learners recognize what they do and don’t know. The paper’s authors emphasize that people who check their responses for errors or get feedback right away learn even better. The authors argue people who combine spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering information. “Forgetting is a very natural thing; you can’t stop forgetting even if you try, but you can slow down forgetting by using retrieval practice and spacing,” said Carpenter. Carpenter acknowledges many people do not like making mistakes or realizing they don’t understand the material as well as they thought. It may arouse insecurities, a fear of failing or some other emotions they want to avoid. But there’s a good chance they’ll eventually have to face up to what they don’t know. “Learning how to learn is going to ensure that anywhere you go after the formal education years, you’re going to know how to learn something and be successful,” she said. 12. Why does Carpenter present her research? A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To advocate the learning strategies. C. To share her achievements. D. To restate her opinion about learning. 13. Which can best replace the underlined word “cramming” in paragraph 2? A. Working hard. B. Staying calm. C. Feeling regretful. D. Taking exercise. 14. How can one learn more effectively according to the text? A. By making as few mistakes as possible. B. By learning a lot in a short time. C. By reviewing errors regularly. D. By checking and reflecting. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Picking up a new hobby is beneficial B. Forgetting is natural, but slow it down C. Spacing and retrieval practice benefit learners D. Combining all learning strategies is the key to success 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了爱荷华州立大学心理学教授莎娜·卡彭特指出，间隔学习和检索练习这两种学习技巧虽经多次研究证实有效，但尚未被广泛采用，若能全面应用将显著提升学习效果。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““The benefits of spacing and retrieval (检索) practice have been confirmed over and over in studies in labs, classrooms, workplaces, but the reason why we’re showcasing this research is that these two techniques haven’t fully caught on. If they were applied all the time, we’d see dramatic increases in learning,” said Iowa State University Psychology Professor Shana Carpenter.(“间隔和检索练习的好处在实验室、教室和工作场所的研究中一再得到证实，但我们展示这项研究的原因是这两种技术还没有完全流行起来。”爱荷华州立大学心理学教授莎娜·卡彭特说：“如果一直应用这些方法，我们会看到学习成绩的显著提高。”)”可推知，卡彭特要发表她的研究是为了提倡学习策略。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“In the paper, Carpenter and her co-authors describe spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time.( 在论文中，卡彭特和她的合著者将间隔描述为一种随着时间的推移小剂量学习的策略。)”以及划线单词句中“It’s the opposite of ... the night before an exam. (这与考试前……正好相反。)”由此可知，spacing是长期少量学习，与之相反，cramming应该是考前一晚集中大量学习，即“临时抱佛脚”，A选项“努力学习（这里指短时间高强度学习）”最符合。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Retrieval practice is a strategy that involves recalling what was learned previously. It can take many forms, including flash cards, practice tests and open-ended writing prompts (提示), and helps learners recognize what they do and don’t know. The paper’s authors emphasize that people who check their responses for errors or get feedback right away learn even better.( 检索练习是一种涉及回忆以前学过的东西的策略。它可以采取多种形式，包括抽认卡、练习测试和开放式写作提示，帮助学习者认识到他们知道什么，不知道什么。这篇论文的作者强调，那些检查自己的回答是否有错误或立即得到反馈的人学得更好。)”可知，通过检查和反思能够更有效地学习。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“If they were applied all the time, we’d see dramatic increases in learning,” said Iowa State University Psychology Professor Shana Carpenter.( 爱荷华州立大学心理学教授莎娜·卡彭特说：“如果一直应用这些方法，我们会看到学习成绩的显著提高。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了间隔学习和检索练习两种学习策略及其对学习者的好处，故这篇文章最好的标题是“间隔和检索练习对学习者有益”。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone has to wait in queues, for deliveries, for exam results, and for all sorts of other things. ___16___. Learning to wait patiently, however, will help you deal with everyday life and be more comfortable taking long and unexpected waits calmly and easily.  Occupy your time. One of the best ways to avoid becoming anxious during a long wait is to do something else at the same time to occupy you. ___17___. You can cope with this by filling this time with another activity like answering some emails.  Wait with other people. There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker. ___18___, talking about what they are waiting for and sharing their excitement in a positive way.   ___19___.  If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focusing on achieving these rather than the final end goal can help you to avoid becoming impatient. Setting small goals that you can achieve can help you to feel like you are taking control of your life, while also distracting you from the long wait that you cannot do anything to shorten. Don’t try too hard. Finding ways to distract yourself is a tried and tested way of keeping impatience at bay and helping time pass. Research has suggested, however, trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can bring about even greater anxiety. ___20___, and there is nothing you can do about it. A. Break up a long wait. B. Accept that you will have to wait. C. Look for a more positive engagement. D. The point is that the people are engaging with each other. E. This won’t always be practical, depending on the situation. F. Feeling impatient is a perfectly normal response to such a situation. G. One of the most frustrating sense is that you are losing valuable time. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几个如何耐心等待的方法和建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Everyone has to wait in queues, for deliveries, for exam results, and for all sorts of other things.( 每个人都要排队，等待送货，等待考试成绩，以及其他各种各样的事情。)”以及下文“Learning to wait patiently, however, will help you deal with everyday life and be more comfortable taking long and unexpected waits calmly and easily.( 然而，学会耐心等待会帮助你处理日常生活，让你在漫长而意外的等待中更加舒适从容。)”可知，前文提到每个人都要排队等待各种事情，后文说学会耐心等待能帮助应对日常生活，F选项Feeling impatient is a perfectly normal response to such a situation.( 对这种情况感到不耐烦是一种非常正常的反应。)可知，承接上文排队等待的情况，引出下文关于学会耐心等待的内容，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One of the best ways to avoid becoming anxious during a long wait is to do something else at the same time to occupy you.( 避免在漫长的等待中变得焦虑的最好方法之一就是在等待的同时做一些其他的事情来占用你的时间。)”以及下文“You can cope with this by filling this time with another activity like answering some emails.( 你可以把这段时间用来做其他的事情，比如回复邮件。)”可知，此段讲通过做其他事来打发等待时间，避免焦虑。G选项One of the most frustrating sense is that you are losing valuable time.( 最令人沮丧的感觉之一是你正在浪费宝贵的时间。)可知，与后文通过做其他事（如回邮件）来填补时间相呼应，说明等待时觉得浪费时间所以要找事做，符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker.( 有证据表明，和别人一起等待可以让时间过得更快。)”可知，该段强调和他人一起等待能让时间过得更快，D选项The point is that the people are engaging with each other.( 关键是人们在相互交流。)可知，解释了为什么和他人一起等待时间会过得快，因为人们在互动交流，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focusing on achieving these rather than the final end goal can help you to avoid becoming impatient.( 如果你要等待很长时间的事情，它可以帮助你把它分成更小的部分。确定短期目标，专注于实现这些目标，而不是最终目标，可以帮助你避免变得不耐烦。)”可知，此段主要讲把长时间的等待分解成小部分，A选项Break up a long wait.( 分解长时间的等待。)可知，符合该段主旨，为总结该段内容。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Research has suggested, however, trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can bring about even greater anxiety.( 然而，研究表明，试图强迫自己不感到焦虑可能会带来更大的焦虑。)”可知，前文提到试图强迫自己不焦虑可能会带来更大的焦虑，B选项Accept that you will have to wait(接受你必须等待的事实) 可知，接着说对此你无能为力，与前文不能强迫自己不焦虑相呼应，符合语境。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Three days.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain (排空) the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened (使……有趣) by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described the full picture in great detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn’t hear the band-he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window described it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The man was happy to get such a wonderful treat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window. He had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. The man was happy to get such a wonderful treat. Slowly, painfully, he supported himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He struggled to slowly turn to look out of the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have driven his dead roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。两个重病病人同在一间病房，窗边能起身的病人总是给另外一个不能起身的病人描述窗外的风景，直到有一天窗边的病人去世后，另外一个病人要求调换到窗边，因为他也想要看窗外的风景。可是，窗外却是一堵墙。后来在护士口中才得知，窗边的病人是一个盲人，给他描述风景只是为了鼓励他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天早上，白班护士来给他们洗澡，却发现窗边那个男人的尸体已经死了。”可知，第一段可描写护士伤心地处理尸体，另外一个病人要求换床位，护士同意了。 ②由第二段首句内容“这个人很高兴得到这么好的款待。”可知，第二段可描写病人艰难地支起身子，却发现窗外是一堵墙，原来是窗边的病人是盲人，为了鼓励自己才描述了风景。 2.续写线索：病人去世——护士伤心处理——要求换床——艰难起身——得知真相 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.询问：ask/question ②.鼓励：encourage/inspire/motivate 情绪类 ①.悲伤：saddened/sorrowful/deep in sorrow ②.开心：happy/glad/delighted/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1].

There are several avenues for students to pursue academic experiences abroad and GPO helps find the program that best fits their goals. Students may study abroad during spring break, January intersession, summer, or for a semester. GPO also provides services and support to international students, regardless of status, at Daemen. Undergraduate/Graduate study abroad policies Students who intend to study, volunteer, or conduct research abroad must have their proposed coursework approved by their department and the GPO before departure. Most programs require a 2.5 GPA (平均学分绩点) to participate (at least a 3.0 GPA for graduate students). To be approved to study abroad, all students must submit requirements before departure and start of the study abroad program. If the student fails to obey, the student will not be approved to study abroad as a Daemen student. Grades earned as part of a study abroad program are factored into each student’s GPA. International Student Services GPO is responsible for helping international students obtain the immigration (移民) benefits to which they are entitled. It also assists in obtaining social security cards and driver’s licenses. Each semester they organize events for Daemen’s international community to get to know the great Buffalo area and experience American culture. 1. What can we know about GPO? A. It is a community university. B. It is a non-profit organization. C. It provides guidance on applying for living abroad. D. It helps students obtain opportunities to study abroad. 2. What will happen if Daemen students complete their coursework? A. Their GPA will increase. B. They will win a scholarship. C. Their grades will be excellent. D. They will receive two diplomas. 3. Which of the following is included in International Student Services? A. Helping students become experts on education. B. Assisting students in obtaining social welfare. C. Encouraging students to volunteer at Daemen. D. Training students to work in local communities. B A few months ago, I logged into a Zoom talk to discover that every little box was labeled “Jane”. The organizer had accidentally sent out the host link, which somehow gave us all the same name. Most attendees found this amusing. But it really isn’t cool for me. I have congenital prosopagnosia — face blindness. I can see faces, but the individual details, such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the nose, are unclear. As a result, recognizing faces — something so instant and unconscious for most — is a major challenge. Over the years I developed coping mechanisms, such as offering equal-opportunity smiles to all. To distinguish people, I relied on extrafacial cues — the brightly coloured heels one person wears, the way another’s head moves when they walk, the scent of cigarettes, a habitual lunch spot on a bench. There were many embarrassing occasions as I pursued my neuroscience career, like when I asked the wrong professor how her sick husband was doing. But overall, I was managing. But in some cases, there’s little I can do. At a recent small conference, a faculty member I know found me to say hello, and I wanted to make sure I responded accordingly when I saw her next. I thought I could recognize her by her hairstyle, but I ended up saying hello to four different women — none of whom was her. Sometimes I feel like something out of a science-fiction plot. A recent Zoom presentation really hammered this home. Titled “You Don’t Belong Here”, it was intended to show how some environments can be exclusionary (排外的) and what can be done to address that. But as the members alternated between acting out scenes and commenting on them, referring to their alter egos (第二自我) in the third person, I was confused. I left feeling exactly as the title said: “You don’t belong here.” Academics with disabilities exist, and we need our colleagues to think broadly and creatively about accessibility and inclusion. Let’s create an environment where we all feel like we belong. 4. Why does the author hold negative attitude toward the Zoom Talk accident? A. He is unfamiliar with the environment. B. He feels disrespect from the organizer. C. He has difficulty keeping one’s name in mind. D. It’s hard for him to recognize the real identity. 5. How does the author usually deal with his problem? A. By remembering the person’s typical characteristics. B. By communicating with the person often. C. By repeating the person’s name again and again. D. By labeling the person with his imagination. 6. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 3? A. To criticize his carelessness. B. To show his powerlessness. C. To describe his kindness. D. To complain about meetings. 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. The author always likes reading science fiction. B. The conference aimed to protect the environment. C. The author was confused about the title of the presentation. D. An inclusive environment should be set up for individuals. C Ants are known to undergo extreme measures to save their own. Past studies have shown the industrious insects carrying wounded partners back to the nest to heal and even exploding and sacrificing themselves to save their regions from predators (捕食者). Now, a team of young researchers in Panama has an amazing discovery. The event began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2020.To pass time during that time Alex Wcislo and his friends decided to shoot clay balls at trees. They targeted the flat, broad leaves of the slender Cecropia trees to make the task more challenging. Things were going well until one of the 9 mm clay balls accidentally hit one of the tree trunks, leaving a clean exit and entry wound. Concerned that he had caused permanent damage, Alex returned to examine the tree the following morning. He was accompanied by his father, William Wcislo, an entomologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). To their surprise, the hole had been completely repaired! Curious to find out what was going on, Alex and his friends joined the STRI’s volunteer program. After setting up the experiment parameters (实验参数) with William, the teens got to work. They drilled holes in the Cecropia trees in the neighbourhood and then carefully documented what followed. The young scientists found that in 14 of the 22 cases, a crowd of Azteca alfari ants instantly gathered in the damaged area. The hardworking insects instantly got to work and, using material from the stems, significantly reduced the size of the hole within two and a half hours. In most cases, the gap was completely sealed within 24 hours. Alex and his team, who published their findings in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research on December 30, 2021, still have one mystery to solve. They are not sure why the insects did not repair all the holes. Understanding this selective behavior is something they hope to explore in the future. 8. What is the author’s main purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To show the special skills ants possess. B. To prove how creative the young researchers are. C. To explain how hard life was during that time. D. To introduce the background of the new discovery. 9. What is the discovery about? A. The trouble the pandemic has caused. B. The way parents educate their children. C. The ability ants repair the damaged trees. D. The forms of entertainment in daily life. 10. How did the young scientists get their finding? A. By comparing different studies. B. By conducting an experiement. C. By consulting other scientists. D. By analyzing previous data. 11. What can we learn from Alex’s story? A. A good beginning is half done. B. Usually a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. C. Care and hard work bring luck. D. Curiosity can lead to an unexpected outcome. D “The benefits of spacing and retrieval (检索) practice have been confirmed over and over in studies in labs, classrooms, workplaces, but the reason why we’re showcasing this research is that these two techniques haven’t fully caught on. If they were applied all the time, we’d see dramatic increases in learning,” said Iowa State University Psychology Professor Shana Carpenter. In the paper, Carpenter and her co-authors describe spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time. It’s the opposite of cramming the night before an exam. In one study, medical students who received repeated surgery training over three weeks performed better and faster on tests 2 weeks and 1 year later compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day. Carpenter says there isn’t a universal rule about how much time to schedule between practice sessions. But research shows returning to the material after forgetting some — but not all — of the content is effective. Retrieval practice is a strategy that involves recalling what was learned previously. It can take many forms, including flash cards, practice tests and open-ended writing prompts (提示), and helps learners recognize what they do and don’t know. The paper’s authors emphasize that people who check their responses for errors or get feedback right away learn even better. The authors argue people who combine spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering information. “Forgetting is a very natural thing; you can’t stop forgetting even if you try, but you can slow down forgetting by using retrieval practice and spacing,” said Carpenter. Carpenter acknowledges many people do not like making mistakes or realizing they don’t understand the material as well as they thought. It may arouse insecurities, a fear of failing or some other emotions they want to avoid. But there’s a good chance they’ll eventually have to face up to what they don’t know. “Learning how to learn is going to ensure that anywhere you go after the formal education years, you’re going to know how to learn something and be successful,” she said. 12 Why does Carpenter present her research? A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To advocate the learning strategies. C. To share her achievements. D. To restate her opinion about learning. 13. Which can best replace the underlined word “cramming” in paragraph 2? A. Working hard. B. Staying calm. C. Feeling regretful. D. Taking exercise. 14. How can one learn more effectively according to the text? A. By making as few mistakes as possible. B. By learning a lot in a short time. C. By reviewing errors regularly. D. By checking and reflecting. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Picking up a new hobby is beneficial B. Forgetting is natural, but slow it down C. Spacing and retrieval practice benefit learners D. Combining all learning strategies is the key to success 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone has to wait in queues, for deliveries, for exam results, and for all sorts of other things. ___16___.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain (排空) the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened (使……有趣) by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described the full picture in great detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn’t hear the band-he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window described it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The man was happy to get such a wonderful treat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 AABCA 6-10 CABCC 11-15 BBCAB 16-20 CBCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
